The house at Cañas 1367 and the Barrio Lastarria. I went to Lastarria with Katerina, a Russian woman who has come to Chile for some economics research, who I met in María's language class with Bryant and Ines a while back. Víctor showed me the house on Cañas when we were talking about the Villa Grimaldi walking back from his house one day. It's literally less than a minute's walk from my house.
